Be' itlmown thai we, Dimmi L. FARNAM :1nd FMNKLIN RANSGAI, of the city, count-y, and Siate of Kew York, have invented now and useful improvements in Fire-Engines, amil that, ibo following a full, clear, und exact description ot Hm principle or characior which disiingnishos ib from .nil other things before known. and of the manner of nmling, const-inoihg, and. using the same., necrenre being hady to, the` accompanying drawings, making nrt of this specification, 'in whil m y Figure is :1 perspeojtive -view of the am gino; Fig; 2, n plan., vand Fig. 3 a longitui .1m-i veiiicai Section.

The simio letters indicate. iik'e' parts in all the ignres. A y The Bailar-e of my invention consisis rin :.urnnging the pomp of the engine in a horinonzal pofs'ition with the piston rod extend-- ing on?, through the hennis'of the cylinder nt both ends, of. sniiiciontiy far to attach to il: the handles by which it is Worked,v winni this is uombizied with the carriage or iwi; of the engine so arranged that the :non nilo wirk the pump izan sit &c. and anni). tlwii' :iaongih as in ibo nctof rowing, :mi Ilm-5 oxoz'l much moro force than in my wim-xr known way.
